Banyan Gallagher is an international performer with over eight years experience in the fire dancing and performance art field. He has performed all over the world alongside some of the greatest performance troupes and musical acts including Cirque du Soleil.
He's an equally talented and experienced Yoga instructor, and we've been lucky to have him lead us into balance and alignment at some very special International Retreats. See more of him in 2011!
We've also had the opportunity to work with Banyan to film a short series of double staff tutorials.
If Playpoi and a Zen Monastery had a baby it would be this retreat. Nick Woolsey, Alien Jon, Banyan, Tea Faerie, and Thom Thumb of team Playpoi have joined forces to bring you a totally different kind of retreat. This week is fueled by a vision of something more important than poi tricks. We're aiming at tangible personal transformation and the ability to manifest the flow state at will.
Banyan has been our beloved yoga teacher at many Playpoi poi retreats. If you love yoga and want to go deeper into your practice, here's your opportunity: Banyanis offering a 7-day yoga immersion in Montezuma, Costa Rica! This retreat will center on a deeper understanding of yoga and tantra, the ancient yogic science of techniques designed to help us overcome our limitations. Banyan’s deep and yet playful approach will inspire a loving self-inquiry and a new direction to your practice. All levels of student are welcome.
We are offering our first ever international poi retreat for beginners with La Escuela Del Sol!
Join us for a whole week of poi adventuring with Nick Woolsey, Alien Jon, and Banyan as our yoga teacher. The retreat is limited to 20 participants so best to register early if you want a spot.
We are returning to Costa Rica to offer more intermediate/advanced poi retreats with La Escuela Del Sol! Join us with Nick Woolsey, Rob Thorburn, and Banyan as our yoga teacher. Retreats are limited to 20 participants so best to register early if you want a spot.
My friends Illzao and Banyan just made a trip to Sumatra, to perform a circus show for children, disabled groups, and retirement communities. Not much poi but lots of love and smiles and inspiration!
Fire spinning in Bali! This video was filmed on the final night of our March 2010 International Poi Retreats and features participants, instructors, and friends.
Big thanks to everybody, and props to Karen for shooting and editing!
